Liam Neeson replacing Mel Gibson in The Hangover Part II

Liam Neeson will cameo in WB’s The Hangover Part II, a cameo originally conceived to be played by Mel Gibson (see related story). Neeson says he was asked by his “A-Team” co-star Bradley Cooper — who returns for ‘Hangover 2’ — to take the cameo, reports Variety:

“I just got a call to do a one day shoot on ‘Hangover 2’ as a tattooist in Thailand, and that’s all I know about it,” Neeson told Daily Variety. “I just laughed my leg off when I saw ‘The Hangover, I was shooting in Berlin earlier this year and rented it on the hotel TV.”
